Benefits of technology
The present invention is a four-in-one passive mattress management system and method that can facilitate various tasks associated with beds of all sizes. It allows for easy making of beds, rotating of a mattress while holding a bed skirt in place, and installation or removal of a mattress. The invention can be used on conventional beds on box springs or on beds that are supported by fixed or variable platforms. It is suitable for both single cover and two cover embodiments. The cover can be embedded in the underneath of the mattress or on the top side of the foundation.
Problems solved by technology
A problem with the various types of mattresses, as discussed above, is that over time the mattress materials lose their resiliency causing body depressions to develop.
Mattresses are relatively heavy items.
In order to rotate a mattress, the mattress must first be lifted and then rotated, As such, rotating a mattress is hard work.
Depending on the weight of the mattress, rotating a mattress can be virtually impossible for some people, such as senior citizens, as well as people that are handicapped or disabled and others.
While such a configuration enables body depressions in the pillow top to be relocated, it has no effect on body depressions that result in the mattress itself.
